This is a beautiful practice that I learnt in one of my yoga trainings. It allows us to sit in the discomfort of a worry or problem and to hear the inner wisdom. I enjoy the tea ceremony, but you can also perform this entire ritual in your mind’s eye. You don’t even have to sit or drink tea if you don’t want to. Another variation of this practice is “Walk with me…” Take a slow walk somewhere quiet and invite Fertility (or any Concern) to walk with you and see what comes up.
